adjective, discomfort, emotions, movies, violence You're talking with a friend about a new movie that started playing in theaters last week. Your friend is describing what the movie is about. You think you've heard something about this movie, but you're not sure if it's the same one. You ask your friend:
Isn't it based on a true story?
You watched a movie. You weren't able to enjoy it because you thought the characters and the setting were to unrealistic. You're discussing the movie with your friend, and you say:
It just wasn't very believable.
"Just not" expresses the feeling that, even though you want something to be true, it's not true in reality. There's a phrase that was made famous by the TV show "Sex and the City", and later used as the title for a movie:
Being "into" someone means that you like them a lot. This sentence was told to a woman who was worrying about why a man who she'd gone on a date with hadn't called her back. When she heard "He's just not that into you," it convinced her to stop worrying about it.
The word "believable" can be used to describe a story that's realistic enough for you to accept. When you see or hear it, it makes you feel like it could be real (although you know that it's not real). "Believable" is mostly used to talk about stories like movies, TV shows, and books. The opposite of "believable" is "not believable". You've probably heard the word "unbelievable", but that word means "amazing" or "wonderful", so its different from "not believable". People don't use the word "believable" to talk about stories, explanations, or descriptions of real events. When someone describes a real-life event and you think that it might be true, you say that it "seems plausible":
That seems plausible.
When it seems like it probably isn't true, you say that it's "not plausible":
Yeah, he says that they agreed to pay him five thousand dollars, but that just doesn't seem plausible.
You're watching a movie about a guy who lives in New York. The character is a waiter at a restaurant, but the apartment he lives in is big and new-looking. You know that New York apartments are really expensive, so you don't believe that the character could afford such a nice apartment. You say:
Is that supposed to be his apartment?
This phrase is used to criticize things. When you don't think something is good enough or realistic enough, you say "Is that supposed to be ___?" For example, if someone compliments your hair cut, but says it in a way that actually sounds rude, you can respond:
Is that supposed to be a compliment or something?
Or when someone tries to make a joke, but the joke offends you:
Is that supposed to be funny?
You can use "this" with the phrase as well as "that":
What, is this supposed to be a nice restaurant? If you ask me, it's way overpriced and not all that good.
You went to the movies with a friend to see a new comedy that came out. After the movie, your friend says she was disappointed. You agree that there were some problems with the movie, but you didn't really expect it to be very good going in. So you enjoyed it. You tell your friend:
I think you set your expectations a little high.
